Innehållsförteckning
Most often, you start GIMP either by clicking on an icon (if your system is set up to provide you with one), or by typing gimp on a command line. If you have multiple versions of GIMP installed, you may need to type gimp-2.8 to get the latest version. You can, if you want, give a list of image files on the command line after the program name, and they will automatically be opened by GIMP as it starts. It is also possible, though, to open files from within GIMP once it is running.
Most operating systems support file associations, which associates a class of files (as determined by their filename extension, such as .jpg) with a corresponding application (such as GIMP). When image files are properly ”associated” to GIMP, you can double click on an image to open it in GIMP.
The GIMP is the most widely supported image manipulation available today. The platforms on which GIMP is known to work include:
GNU/Linux™, Apple Mac OS X™, Microsoft Windows™, OpenBSD™, NetBSD™, FreeBSD™, Solaris™, SunOS™, AIX™, HP-UX™, Tru64™, Digital UNIX™, OSF/1™, IRIX™, OS/2™ och BeOS™.
The GIMP is easily ported to other operating systems because of its source code availability. For further information visit the GIMP developers homepage. [GIMP-DEV].
GIMP automatically detects and uses the system language. In the unlikely event that language detection fails, or if you just want to use a different language, since GIMP-2.8, you can do so through: → → .
You can also use:
            In LINUX: in console mode,
            type LANGUAGE=en gimp or
            LANG=en gimp
            replacing en by fr, de, ... according to the language you
            want. Background: Using LANGUAGE=en
            sets an environment variable for the executed
            program gimp.
          
→ → → button in ”System Variables” area: button: Enter LANG for Name and fr or de... for Value. Watch out! You have to click on three successive to validate your choice.
If you change languages often, you can create a batch file to change the language. Open NotePad. Type the following commands (for french for instance):
                    
                      set lang=fr
                    
                  
start gimp-2.8.exe
            Save this file as GIMP-FR.BAT (or another
            name, but always with a
            .BAT extension). Create
            a shortcut and drag it to your desktop.
          
Another possibility: → → Then and select the language you want in the drop-down list.
From System Preferences, click on the International icon. In the Language tab, the desired language should be the first in the list.
            Use -n to run multiple instances of GIMP.
            For example, use gimp-2.8 to start GIMP
            in the default system language, and
            LANGUAGE=en gimp-2.8 -n to start another
            instance of GIMP in English; this is very
            useful for translators.
          
      Although arguments are not required when starting
      GIMP, the most
      common arguments are shown below. On a Unix system, you can use
      man gimpfor a complete list.
    
Command line arguments must be in the command line that you use to start GIMP as gimp-2.8 [OPTION...] [FILE|URI...].
